Chapter 1892: Chapter 1891: Arrangements (Second Update)

"Mm." Xiao Hu’s mother nodded, then immediately grabbed Xiao Hu by the ear and headed toward the small courtyard next door.

"Ah! Mom, why are you pulling my ear? It really hurts!" Xiao Hu howled in pain.

"You look so filthy, the air is almost smoked black by you. What, you planning to become a black mud loach?" Xiao Hu’s mother scolded with a cold face.

"..." Xiao Hu was speechless again in his heart. He subconsciously sniffed his arm; compared to before, there really was a foul smell on him now, but it was still a far cry from smoking the air black.

"Mom, I don’t even smell that bad! How could I possibly smoke the air black?" Xiao Hu said seriously.

...

Seeing the three of them disappear in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaohao smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Zhang Ting’er.

Meeting Zhang Xiaohao’s gaze, Zhang Ting’er’s exquisite, stunning face uncharacteristically flushed red.

"I’m going to take a bath too!" Zhang Ting’er said, her face burning.

With that, she turned and ran toward the bedroom in the back.

"Heh heh!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled and followed her in.

Inside the room.

"Brother Xiaohao, w-why are you here?" Zhang Ting’er said, blushing furiously.

"What, you didn’t want me to come?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a playful smile.

Roar!

As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced like a starving tiger on its prey, fiercely leaping at her...

In an instant the battle erupted. As the fight grew fiercer, move after move was unleashed from Zhang Xiaohao’s hands, all kinds of terrifying methods and the like madly "striking" toward Zhang Ting’er.

Under Zhang Xiaohao’s fierce offensive, Zhang Ting’er was forced to retreat again and again...

After that, Zhang Xiaohao brought out the legendary thirty-six Heavenly Gang transformations, seventy-two Earth Evil transformations, and one hundred and eight sets of routines, leaving Zhang Ting’er almost unable to tell which way was north.

A day and a night passed in a flash.

Accompanied by a low growl from Zhang Xiaohao, the fierce battle finally came to a complete stop.

Zhang Xiaohao sat down on a chair, took out a Panda cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and started smoking.

"Brother Xiaohao, you’re awful!" Zhang Ting’er said, her face scarlet.

"If a man’s not bad, women won’t love him." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Right, this is for you!" Zhang Xiaohao took out four golden Tokens and tossed them to Zhang Ting’er.

"Brother Xiaohao, these are?" Zhang Ting’er asked in confusion.

"My small courtyard and your family’s small courtyard have already been linked together by a great method I used, connected with a Formation. Other than Cultivators of the Unification Realm, ordinary Cultivators of the Refining Void Realm basically can’t discover it without some special means! Below the Refining Void Realm, you don’t even need to worry about it! Only those holding these four Tokens can enter this courtyard! Moreover, these four Tokens can activate the Formation around the courtyard. Once activated, any Cultivator below the Refining Void Realm will definitely die! Even if it’s a Cultivator of the Refining Void Realm, they’ll have to shed a layer of skin even if they survive! And even if they try to drag it out in a prolonged battle, this Formation won’t run out of Spiritual Power for several hundred years!" Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"I understand, Brother Xiaohao. I’ll hand the other three Tokens over to my parents later." Zhang Ting’er nodded.

"Mm! First squeeze out a drop of blood and refine this Token." Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Okay." Zhang Ting’er responded.

Following Zhang Xiaohao’s instructions, she immediately squeezed out a drop of blood and dripped it onto one of the golden Tokens.

As soon as the golden blood entered the Token, a flash of golden light appeared and was absorbed by the Token. The method of using the golden Token instantly flooded into Zhang Ting’er’s Spirit sea of consciousness.

After a while, Zhang Ting’er opened her eyes.

"Brother Xiaohao, I’ve already mastered this golden Token." Zhang Ting’er said.

"Good! Since that’s the case, let’s head out." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Alright, Brother Xiaohao." Zhang Ting’er said.

She quickly dressed herself, putting on a short white palace dress. Her two bare, crystal-bright jade feet shimmered, a layer of purple glow under her small feet, lifting her two inches off the ground as she followed behind Zhang Xiaohao and walked outside.

In the small courtyard.

Xiao Hu and the other two were all there. Seeing Zhang Xiaohao come out, Xiao Hu’s mother said with a smile,

"Xiaohao, come sit! I knew you’d be hungry, so I already prepared the dishes."

"Thanks!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

He took out a pack of Panda, pulled out one and handed it to Xiao Hu’s father, then lit one for himself and sat down on a chair.

"Xiaohao, you’re leaving, aren’t you?" Xiao Hu’s father asked.

"Yeah. My business here is done; I’m planning to leave in the next couple of days." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"From what you’ve arranged this time, we can already tell—you’re worried that after you leave, there’ll be no one to look after us, so you deliberately guided us onto the path of Cultivation! That way, whether in terms of lifespan or strength, we’ll improve by a lot! When we run into some trouble in the future, we’ll be able to deal with it! And you’ve set up Formations around us. In this Jialan Holy City, aside from the Clan Leader of the Jialan Clan, no one can break it! Even if the Clan Leader of the Jialan Clan were to make a move, the price he’d have to pay to break it is something he might not be able to bear!" Xiao Hu’s father said with a sigh.

"Uncle Zhang, don’t be discouraged. I just have matters that force me to leave for a while, it’s not like I’m never coming back! Besides, as long as you all stay in this courtyard and don’t go out, focusing on Cultivation, no matter how the outside world changes, it won’t affect you! Also, I’ve left other back-up arrangements around here, enough to keep you safe until I return." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"It’s rare to meet someone you really click with, and it’s a pity that in not even two years you’re already leaving! Alright, let’s stop saying these buzzkill things. No matter when you go, we’re getting drunk today. All the dishes today were made by your auntie herself. The taste might not compare to those big restaurants, but it’s got the warmth of home!" Xiao Hu’s father laughed heartily.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded with a smile.

He took out four storage pouches, handing three to Xiao Hu’s father for the three of them, and the last one to Zhang Ting’er.

"Uncle Zhang, Auntie, inside are one million top-grade Spirit Stones I’ve prepared for you, plus various cultivation Elixirs, some powerful secret techniques, and some precious materials. It’ll be enough for you to keep cultivating for several hundred years without worrying about resources." Zhang Xiaohao explained.

"In that case, we won’t stand on ceremony!" Xiao Hu’s father said.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Xiao Hu’s father added,

"Xiaohao, got any more cigarettes? Give me some if you do!"

"Sure." Zhang Xiaohao nodded with a smile and handed over another storage pouch.

"Don’t just stand there in a daze, hurry up and eat! If we wait any longer, the dishes will go cold and won’t taste good." Xiao Hu’s mother called out with a smile.
